Bailey said he does not know why Gavin resigned without notice. "In my opinion Sandy Gavin was a disgruntled employee who could not accept the departure of my predecessor (Alan Abadie), nor could he adjust to the change in leadership and the new direction of the department," Bailey said. And despite the fact that Gavin Tiled a complaint against the department in June of '94, Bailey stressed that he did not have any personal or professional conflicts with Gavin. Gavin, however, disagreed with Bailey's assessment of their relationship. "We had several disputes," Gavin said. "He can't speak for how I feel." Gavin also said that he has an outside source checking into his complaints with the department. "Several situations are going to be investigated — are being investigated." Gavin declined to comment on what is being investigated or who is carrying out the investigation, and Bailey said that he knew nothing about it. Soon after Bailey came to Loyola, Gavin was demoted from investigator to officer. But, Bailey said, this decision was made before he took over as director of Public Safety. "That decision was made before I arrived at Loyola. I had the opportunity to review that decision and I concurred with it," he said.
